OREGON papers are enthusiastic in
indorsing Senator Stanford's suggestion
that the forests in the several states be
given to the states. Their main argu-
ment is that the government does not
need the revenue derived from the sale
of timber lands, and that the surplus in
the treasury can be reduced without
altering the fiscal policy of the govern
ment, and that moreover, the states ot
the east have no equitable right to the
timber of Oregon and other western
states.

has not heard that reason for many

faithless public servant; these are the
reasons" That is a nice formula. The

truth. That was what the President
formerly asked for. But he had prom

are prerequisite for the hearing, and are

terville. If the former tall and winter
arrangement is adopted, this number will
be greatly reduced, and one of the chief
features, Jewett's morning train to Ban
gor, will probably be discontinued at Wa
terville The early morning train to
Portland connecting with the Boston trains
has proved a great advantage to business
men. This being continued and sup
plemented by an early morning train
from or through this city to Waterville and
Bangor would also be great advantage.
Such an arrangement will enable passen-
gers to make the connections now missed
by Jewett's train to Bangor and also en-
able business men to arrive in Bangor in
ordinary business and banking hours. For
these reasons this plan seems feasible.
But if, as is understood, the morning train
to Portland is TO be continued from Water
vile through the winter, it seems fair that
this city, much larger, should be given
equivalent railroad facilities in the direc-
ton that its growing business interests
demand. There is no reason why business
men cannot spend the day up river, and
especially at Bangor, and return at night.
1t will be we'll for the citizens who are IN
terested in this matter TO thoroughly ex-
anime the subject, take united action and
lay the matter before the railroad author
tiles, who we feel confident, will give the
matter proper attention and do all in their
power to supply Augustus need.

Augustus Need.

As the summer season draws near its
close, considerable interest is manifested
by the citizens of Augusta, concerning the
changes that usually take place in the
number and arrangement OF the trains to
and from this city. After having enjoyed
the superior advantages afforded by the
summer schedule, 1t is somewhat inconven-
lent to do without the facilities that have
been furnished That the people have ap-
preciated the efforts of the railroad author
tiles to afford travelling facilities is evil
denced by the liberal patronage which has
been gwen. Indeed so extensive has the
city travel become that 1t ranks among the
hrst way stations in this particular.
And this patronage has not been
simply that of pleasure. great proper
ton of it has been in the way of business.
The numbering business of this city and
neighborhood, requires constant commun-
icatiou by travel to points further up the
valley. The commercial interests that
exist between this city and inter-
mediate towns to Bangor included, de-
mand better conveniences each year.
Travelling men are delayed here after
having completed business the evening
previous and constantly express their
wants in matter of train service. The
summer arrangement though faulty be-

A Big Mistake.

Big Mistake.
The moultng season, or the season when
hens shed their feathers, will soon be at an
end. The process is one thst in certain re-
| spects debilitates and prevents hens from lay
ing. The reason of this is that the growing
of new feathers requires all the nitrogen and
phoephates contained in the food land there is
none left to form the egg. A curious fact
about the hen. and one that illustrates the
foregoing statement, is this, If q hens leg be
broken during the laying season, che will lay
her eggs without shells until the break is
mended. The reason tor this must be that
all the lime contained in the food is required
to unite the broken bone; there is therefore,
none for the formation of egg shells. The
formation of new feathers does not require
any corbonaceous or fat producing food, con-
sequently well fed hens get very fat during
the moulting. Many farmers and poultry
raisers, not understanding all about these
things, kill of their old hens because they
think they have stopped laying and are fat.
This is q great mistake. because if the proper
material be furnished them with their food to
supply the increased demand for nitrogen
and phOsphates before mentioned, the old
hens will be through shedding feathers much
sooner, and will begin laying on the approach
of cold weather, and they will continue to
lay vigorously all winter. while the young
pullets, reserved to take the place of the old
hens, may not begin to lay until much later
in the season. Very many people have
learned from experience that Sheridan's
Condition Powder, mixed once daily with
their food, will supply the extra material
needed to strengthen and invigorate their
hens, enabling them to grow new plumage
quickly and commence laying early Those
who commence now to use Sheridan's Pow
der, will find their young pullets will COM
mence to lay at from four to six months old,
and will lay continuously through the winter.

lished by |. S. johnson & Co., at % Custom
